Hi friends,
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a blog entry. With my birthday around the corner, it’s nice getting this opportunity to recap my recent history.
I just wrapped a feature film called ”As We Know It”, which I filmed in Los Angeles. It’s a zombie apocalypse movie directed by Josh Monkarsh… it stars Pam Grier, Chris Parnell, Oliver Cooper, Mike Castle, Danny Mondello, and yours truly! You can read more about it here…

Filming was a lot of fun; I don’t think I can say much more than that right now. I look forward to sharing updates on this project when I can.
Prior to ”As We Know It”, I filmed a few episodes of the upcoming Showtime series ”American Gigolo”, starring and produced by Jon Bernthal. The series premieres September 9th. I am so excited to watch! Here’s the trailer:
In music news… I released the music video for my track ”So Sweetly”, directed by me! It stars myself and Anthony Keyvan. Anthony is a wonderful actor, I feel lucky to have him in this. You can watch it here:
We shot the video a while back, so I’m happy to finally have it released. Special thanks to my DP/friend Brent Mata at NEER Motion who really brought the video to life. We previously collaborated for a music video I shot with my band the tenth… you can watch that video here:
When I released my album ”In Memory of Haroldine” last September, (nearly a year ago!), it was not properly mastered. While I love the tracks as is, I decided to have the songs mastered and I will be slowly re-releasing them.
I’m really thrilled with the way they sound, it takes the songs to a whole new level.
So Sweetly is the first single from my remastered album. The single cover art below was shot by one of my best friends Jon Del Real during the filming of the So Sweetly music video.
It’s very possible I might have another music video coming out in the near future, wink wink.
Final updates… I released Volume 2 of my comic Earth Sign Love. Available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/561753910/
I cut together my first animation reel; these days you can often find me drinking matcha and animating…
And lastly, I cut my hair! It feels good in this summer L.A. heat. Here’s a recent picture of me at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event.
Stay tuned for upcoming concert announcements and other exciting updates…
Thanks for supporting me,
